Did you know 2/3 of the UK workforce wrongly believe they are too old to be an apprentice? When most people hear “apprenticeship” they imagine school leavers or young trainees just starting their careers, but this is far from the truth.
So, who can do an apprenticeship?
Government-backed apprenticeship schemes across the UK are open to anyone aged 16 and above, with no upper age limit. In fact, 48% of apprentices in England are aged 25 and over, with the fastest growing age group being 30+. This number is set to rise in the coming years as more businesses are investing in upskilling their existing staff in order to retain talent.
Whether you have members of your team returning to work, at the start of a careers change or looking to refresh outdated qualifications, apprenticeships offer a flexible an supportive way to do this. An apprenticeship programme provides a structured way to help workforces grow.
Experienced apprentices, referred to as upskillers, often bring invaluable life experience and work ethic to their roles. Employers consistently report that mature apprentices often excel in their work, due to the ability to bring real-world insight into the training environment. Upskillers are also advantageous to your business as they often progress faster and can help mentor others along the way too.
